And now for a tasty meal with a terrible photo ;)

To be stored in our kitchen at work this week, I bought two kinds of organic salad greens, smoked almonds, dried berries, and feta cheese mixed with flecks of sundried tomatoes and basil. The idea is for me to make a side salad each day that has just a bit of extra goodies in it.

The trick was to come to work today and not eat all of that together for lunch on my first day! That would be a very high-calorie meal.

I also brought several frozen entrees. My leftovers from my home freezer are a bit low at the moment, so I bought some from the store. (I do recycle the packaging . . . and I consider $3-4 or a frozen entree that keeps me from spending $10 at a restaurant to be a bargain!)

Today for lunch, I heated up some spinach lasagna (no tomato sauce) from Seeds of Change. It was delicious--the pasta was, I'm thankful to say, still al dente after microwaving--and it was richly flavored. One of my coworkers was microwaving a Lean Cuisine meat-and-tomato lasagna as I was getting my lunch ready, and we both noted (she first) that my lasagna looked a lot more appealing than hers. My lasagna had 30 more calories and 3 more fat grams than the Lean Cuisine variety, so it was a reasonable choice in that way.

To go with my lasagna, I took out my herb salad mix and tossed it with two teaspoons of feta, a tablespoon or so of toasted walnuts (I toasted them on the stove for three minutes), and about two teaspoons of the homemade lemon dressing I've mentioned that I use previously.

It was quite a delicious meal. Unfortunately, my cell phone camera does no justice for tasty meals . . . but such is life.
